multiple file upload

[kidbrax]

Does anyone have a snippet on uploading multiple files from one page, much like adding attachments to a webmail message? Also, I would like the ability to remove attachments before submitting form

well... submitting multiple files is not a big deal...

just use fields like this:

<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file[0]">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file[1]">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file[2]">
...

• you can also use a loop for that - and then you process all the submitted data my going through the array:

foreach ($file as $key => $value) {
    if ($value && $value != "none") {
        //PROCESS THE DATA
    }
}

this should work...

i dont really know what you mean by removing attachments - so maybe you could specify this...

rock on..

Thanks for your help, however I would like to know how to do this with one input field. See the attached image.

oh - no i see whyt you mean - like... browse file -> attach, browse next file -> attach next file,... right?

hmmm... id have to look into this too... im not sure how temporary files are being handles either... i mean you could store the pending attachments in a database (blog) - but im not sure how speed/resource efficient THAT is...
